SO can we organise a blacked out window panel van, meet a few of us at grand bazaar and take us to your house... with hoods over our heads so we wont know where u live but get to hear such elite gear......

[Doomtack]

Some nice HigDef equipment in the Second Pic, what forum did you get them from, i'm a hi def fanatic on the Home theater/Audio side and always interested in forums concerning it, especially local ones to as not many are around

[RustyPlumber]

^taken from trinituner,but it's in a hometheater thread. There are alot of audiophiles locally with crazy gear,but they usually keep to themselves.I myself am on the verge of finishing my mid priced hi fi audio  digital setup. Just awaiting Audioquest type 8 cables and Audioquest King Cobra Interconnector RCA's now.Will probably start the analog part next year.CD's would have to work for now (Although i have alot of LP's lying down here,that'll have to wait)

More expensive doesnt alwasy mean better:

Listening Impressions:

[RustyPlumber]

according to bob carver,headphones will always be flawed acoustic space wise,the sound is bouncing off your inner ear,then bouncing back towards the headphone etc. take a look at this vid,i admit,its kinda long,but if you know bob carver,and the path he paved for audio gear,you'll appreciate it:

[MessiaaH]

Rass go watch that in ah timing, but headphones always flawed? lololol.

My headphones setup sound better than most if not all speaker setups i've ever heard.

So if flawed means, Juicy sweet delicious pin dropping detail, allowing u to hear notes in music u never knew was there, allowing u to hear every scrape of metal in a transformer when it transform, or hear each footstep of a marching army as if u was stand up right there.

Den flawed is where its at!

^maybe you should re-read what i posted, will always be flawed acoustic space wise. But hey,dont take my word for it,look even Tyll Hertsen,same guy you posted above admits it:




My Modest setup so far:

Cambridge Audio Azur 650A Amp
Cambridge Audio Azur 650C CD Player (dual Wolfson's)
PSB Image B6 Speakers
Audioquest Type 8 Speaker wire
Audioquest King Cobra Interconnector RCA's

[MessiaaH]

Dread u finding some long ass vids, i go watch them thing when i have time lololol. ah hr ah pop? rass. lol go take dem in in ah timing.

[MessiaaH]

http://www.headphone.com/accessories/harbeth-p3esr-speakers-rosewood.php

But thats jus speakers alone, each need ah independant amp.
True hifi speakers.

When i ready to dabble in hifi speakers i go see wah going on.
But headphones ftw right now.

[RustyPlumber]

^cool,with regards to speakers though,make sure and do alot of research before buying,unless you live in the USA or something,there is no place here locally to audition speakers really,took me over a year of research and reviews to finally pull the trigger,really wanted to get the imagine series,but they cost 12k down here from the dealer,these only cost me only 5k with warranty etc.Also everything i bought so far got great reviews on stereophile magazine,even the lower line PSB Alpha B1's got product of the year in 2008 i believe,and won awards worldwide for the sound at the price,280usd a pair,which is a bargain.

But enough rattling about,2 hobbies people SHOULD NOT GET INTO
1- Audiophile-people get real anal about their gear
2-Salt Water Reef Tanks-people get real anal about their setups

you can kiss all your $$ goodbye

[MessiaaH]

YUP!!!!! at audiophile and $$ gone lololol.

And yea i does do tons of research before i buy anything, not in d country now doh.
And i go check out them speakers u running.

But i rel research my present kit before buying it.
And d Audeze LCD-2 i sniping next, i done do meh research aready on that bad boy.

But i prepared to return it / sell it, if it not better than my current headphones.
Not being able to audition is ah bitch.
